many artists attribute their beginnings to gospel music, often citing it as their main influence. perhaps it was the soft humming emitted by the computer that, merely by coincidence, happened to sound like a traditional christmas carol? i lean in closer-maybe-could be-no-.no that’s not it either. tony frazier & the honky tonk playboys – playing upwards of 100 dates a year, tony frazier and the honky tonk playboys have only begun its ascent. jesus is mine

Harness & Horse trimming, eh? So clearly it was a leather bar.

[...] Mission Mistaken asked for some recent history on El Rio, but my time machine only starts working a minimum of half a century back. [...]

While I don’t know what it was a few decades back, I can tell you that between the 20s and the 50s it was a bar, right in the middle of a bunch of car dealerships and auto repair shops.

At the turn of the previous century a “harness and carriage trimming” shop was on the site.

And in the 1880s it was an empty lot and some dude’s house and a glove factory were next door.

This would be a fun trivia subject for Burrito Justice or someone similarly dedicated to RESEARCH — if I’m not mistaken El Rio was briefly a gay bar, way back in the day. And it managed to transcend that and become an everybody bar. Granted, depending on the night of the week, some bodies more than others.
